Some musicians connect with one model over another, and many gravitate toward particular model-year eras because of shifts in color options, pickup choices, subtle feature differences (such as pickguards, inlays, and plastics), and changing neck profiles. Our Les Paul Standard 50s and 60s models have resonated with players for exactly that reason, offering a way to choose the feel and features that suit them best. With that same philosophy in mind, te’re now extending this approach to ES-335 enthusiasts with the release of the ES-335 60s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-335 60s captures the essential characteristics of early 1960s ES-335 instruments. Its semi-hollow, thinline body is constructed from three-ply maple, poplar, and maple, paired with a solid maple centerblock that enhances sustain while significantly minimizing feedback. Single-ply cream binding along the top and back adds a refined visual touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to the early 60s originals, the mahogany neck features the SlimTaper profile, offering a sleeker, faster feel than the thicker Rounded C profile found on the ES-335 50s. The bound rosewood fretboard includes 22 medium jumbo frets and small block acrylic inlays, delivering the familiar look of classic 60s ES-335 models. High-quality Grover Rotomatic tuners with milk bottle buttons work seamlessly with the Graph Tech nut to ensure exceptional tuning stability. A mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay adorn the headstock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the opposite end of the strings, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece contribute to the guitar’s excellent sustain and offer full control over action height and individual intonation adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair of calibrated T-Type humbucker pickups with Alnico 5 magnets powers the ES-335 60s, delivering the unmistakable character of vintage Gibson T-Top humbucker tones. Each pickup connects to its own hand-wired 500k volume and tone controls, and together with the three-way toggle switch, they provide the broad tonal palette that has defined the ES-335 for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA five-ply, 60s-style pickguard, along with black Top Hat knobs featuring reflectors and dial pointers, completes the period-inspired aesthetic. Available in Vintage Burst, Sixties Cherry, and Dark Walnut gloss nitrocellulose finishes, the ES-335 60s ships with a Gibson hardshell case. For players who favor the streamlined neck shape and visual style of 60s-era ES-335 designs, this model delivers the feel and sound that have made these instruments cherished for more than six decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Neck wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e• Neck shape: SlimTaper\u003cbr\u003e• Scale length: 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003e• Joint: Set-neck\u003cbr\u003e• Fingerboard\u003cbr\u003e• Material: Indian rosewood\u003cbr\u003e• Radius: 12\"\u003cbr\u003e• Inlays: Small block\u003cbr\u003e• Frets: 22, medium-jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Neck pickup: Calibrated T-Type humbucker\u003cbr\u003e• Bridge pickup: Calibrated T-Type humbucker\u003cbr\u003e• Controls: Individual volume, individual tone\u003cbr\u003e• Switching: 3-way toggle\u003cbr\u003e• Capacitors: Orange Drop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Bridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003e• Tailpiece: Aluminum stopbar\u003cbr\u003e• Tuning machines: Vintage deluxe with keystone buttons\u003cbr\u003e• Hardware finish: Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Orientation: Right handed\u003cbr\u003e• Strings: 6\u003cbr\u003e• Case: Gibson hardshell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43691200708674,"sku":"711106234236","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2015\/7205\/files\/IMG_3612.jpg?v=1778022625","url":"https:\/\/motorcityguitar.com\/products\/gibson-es-335-60s-dark-walnut-711106234236","provider":"Motor City Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
